The shoot, for a series of paintings Minter was calling “21st-Century Odalisques,” took place at Minter’s studio in SoHo. The National was blasting from a sound system.

In her memoir, “Love, Loss, and What We Ate,” Lakshmi writes candidly of the relationship’s decline—the periods of frosty distance punctuated by agonizing fights, and Rushdie’s frustration at her diminished sexual availability, which she attributes to a severe case of endometriosis that was diagnosed only a year before the marriage ended. Rushdie agreed to her private request for a divorce via a public statement issued by his literary agent.
